Weight loss and perseverance
Month to month variation evens out over time so the trend line becomes apparent like on this graph.
I also weigh myself every morning just to remind me to stay on plan and can tell what the trend is by noting the minimum and maximum weight I see over a few days and use the average between the two to observe small changes like a pound.
My weight bounces around like that too. So I use moving averages. I only record my weight once per week as measured on Sunday morning before I get dressed. Then I only officially claim my end of month weight using the measurement taken on the last Sunday of the month.
